Amy and Ray, Lake Placid

The Whiteface Lodge Lake Placid, New York 16 photographs

Amy and Ray booked eight weeks out and told me to stay out of the way. So I did.

  • Guests gathering on the lodge lawn before the ceremony Four in the afternoon
  • Amy on the stairs holding her dress clear of the treads
  • Ray waiting at the front, hands folded, looking down the aisle
  • Amy's mother straightening the veil in a doorway Before
  • The ring exchange, both hands lit by low sun through the trees
  • Ray's brother reading from a folded sheet of paper The reading
  • Confetti in the air as the couple walk back down the aisle
  • The wedding party crossing the lawn towards the lake
  • Amy and Ray at the shoreline with the ridge behind them Mirror Lake
  • Long table set under strung lights, empty just before dinner
  • A guest laughing hard enough to put a hand on the table Speeches
  • The first dance, the room dark, one light on their faces
  • Amy's grandfather dancing with a small girl standing on his shoes
  • Kids running the length of the tent in socks Nine at night
  • Sparklers along the drive as the couple leave
  • Empty chairs and a fiddle case at the end of the night Last call
